What if… One neighbour decided to turn 🤯? Sounds wild, but this week the Canadian Armed Forces unveiled a conceptual model for a hypothetical US invasion—the first one in about a century! 🇨🇦
According to a Globe and Mail scoop on Tuesday (Jan 20, 2026), two senior officials—speaking off the record—said the exercise is purely theoretical, not an actual battle plan. Think of it as a detailed “what-if” scenario, helping Canada boost its strategic thinking. 🤔
And don’t worry—the officials stressed it’s super unlikely the US under President Donald Trump would ever make such a move. Instead, this drill shows how Canada keeps sharpening its defence skills and stays ready for any global twist. 🌐🛡️
Canada, as a founding member of NATO and a key partner in NORAD with the US, already has tight security ties. This fresh model just adds another layer to planning, coordination, and joint-response strategies with allies. 🤝
Whether you’re into global politics, defence tech, or just love a good “what-if” story, Canada’s latest move is a neat reminder that even the most peaceful nations play strategic chess behind the scenes. Stay tuned for more cool updates! 🚀
